EMERGENCY BRAKE ASSIST
This system is complementary to
ABS and helps reduce vehicle
stopping distances.
Operating principle
The system is for detecting an
emergency braking situation. In this
case, the braking assistance
immediately develops maximum
power and may trigger ABS
regulation.
ABS braking is maintained as long
as the brake pedal is not released.
Hazard warning lights switching
on
Depending on the vehicle, these
may light up in the event of sudden
deceleration.This function is an
additional aid in case of
critical driving conditions
to enable the vehicle
behaviour to be adapted to suit the
driving conditions.
However, the function does not take
the place of the driver. I t does not
increase the vehicle’s limits and
should not encourage you to drive
more quickly.
Therefore, it can under no
circumstances replace the vigilance
or responsibility of the driver when
manoeuvring the vehicle (the driver
must always be ready for sudden
incidents which may occur when
driving).

AUTOMATIC GEARBOX
Operation
With the lever in position Por N,
switch on the ignition.
Foot on the brake pedal (the warning
light goes out), move the lever out of
position P.
Selector lever
The display 1on the instrument
panel informs you of the mode and
the gear engaged.
P: park
R: reverse
N: neutral
D : automatic mode
4: displays the gear engaged in
manual mode The lever must only be engaged in D
or R when the vehicle is stationary.
Foot on the brake and accelerator
pedal released.
You must apply the brake before
pressing the unlocking button to
move out of the P position.
Driving in automatic mode
Select position
D. In most traffic
conditions, you will not have to
touch the gear selector lever again:
the gears will change automatically
at the right time and at the most
suitable engine speed because the
“automatic system” takes into
account the vehicle load and road
contour and adjusts itself to the
particular driving style you have
chosen.

AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION (continued)Driving in manual mode
With the selector lever in position D,
move the lever to the left.
Pushing the lever repeatedly allows
you to change gears manually.
- to move down through the gears, push the lever backwards.
- to move up through the gears, push the lever forwards.
The gear selected is displayed on the
instrument panel. Special cases
Under certain driving conditions
(e.g.: engine protection, with
electronic stability program (ESP)
operational: etc.) the “automatic
system” may change gear
automatically.
Likewise, to prevent “incorrect
manoeuvres”, a gear change may be
refused by the “automatic system”:
in this case the gear display flashes
for a few seconds as a warning.
How to drive as economically as
possible
Leave the selector in position
Don
the open road, depress the
accelerator pedal slightly to ensure
automatic gear changes at
comparatively low engine speeds.
Accelerating and overtaking
Depress the accelerator pedal
briskly and fully (so that it goes
beyond the kickdown point).
This will enable you to change
down to the optimal gear within the
engine range.
